Hello new friends! I’m an #avgeek who worked in accounting for an airport authority for 9+ years. Had many adventures incldg: airfield, ATC, AFM & ARFF tours, drove various airport vehicles, recorded announcements - even helped Ops run the deice pad! I took tons of pics & blogged all about it. 😊✈️

Have you thanked an Air Traffic Controller lately? You should. Especially now. #avgeek #aviation #travel #atc

So very sad to hear about the crash of the UPS MD-11 earlier today. Aviation is a small world. 💔✈️ #avgeek #aviation #airplane

I hate falling back. I hate dark winter months. But I love this little flower which I didn’t plant and which decided to bloom today despite the fact that it is November. #country #countrife #tallgrass #flowers #garden

Some people collect model airplanes. As for me…

Here’s MarGe hanging out with a bunch of British cars (and a Mercedes 🤷‍♀️). Amazing day for a car show. And such a variety of cars! #britishcars #carshow #classiccar #antiquecar

Question: Does a 1999 Toyota Tacoma count as a show-worthy car? What about your run-of-the-mill Tesla? Is it someone’s passion for the vehicle that matters most? Personally I like the classics best but to each their own. #carshow #classiccar

Nearly impossible to give a true idea of how big this show is. Here’s the main drag. Cars pack all the side streets too. #carshow #classiccar #supercar #motorhead

Last car show of the season. Attendance will be huge so we have to get there early. Driving this car in the dark in the cold is NOT fun. Check out the “amazing” dashboard lights! LOL

Look who is back inside! The skunk got her in the face and it was a partial blow. She needs another bath but she’s not nearly stinky as she was. She is traumatized though. Hoping a new collar, a new leash and a chew bone will cheer her up. #dog #dogsofbluesky #pets #skunked

This is the look of a dog that chased a skunk at 10:30pm and now has to have a bath. She also has to sleep in the barn. 🙁

MarGe the MG goes up on the lift so we can figure out why the front left brake has been sticking. #car #classiccar #antiquecar #1954MG

A hummingbird in October! Unusual for this area. I’m glad I’ve kept my feeder up. #bird #birdsofbluesky #hummingbird

This handsome guy has spent part of the morning busily attacking his reflection in our windows. I’ve tried explaining the situation, but he does not believe me. 🤷‍♀️ #bird #birdsofbluesky #hawk

Apparently I can’t send DMs unless I verify my age. And to verify my age I have to provide personal data to a third party. Not especially comfortable with this so I guess I’ll have to think about it. For the time being, don’t DM me here. 🙁

Although I love the beach a lot, I also love coming back to meadows filled with goldenrod and white and purple asters. There are so many honeybees that the field behind the house hums. #pollenators #meadow #countrylife

Here’s 20 seconds of zen with sand pipers. Because beach. (Home now. Had a lovely trip.)
